AN AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT. MESSAGES DISPLEASE NAZIS. (Received This Day, 9.0 a.m.) NEW YORK, November 20.

Mr Conger said: “Germany was apparently determined not to expel an American correspondent, hut I am told unofficially that it would he best to leave.”
Correspondents have been warned that similar stories will not be permitted. They have also been warned not to say that Germany protested, hut to state as their own opinions, that Mr Conger’s dispatch was not true.
